Oh so tweet

Published by Julia Stainton at 9:09 am under Card Designs

I’m loving this new Holly-Day House stamp! I think it just may be my favorite Friendly Kritters release yet! Who can resist those darling little birds and their house, all decorated for Christmas. This image is a fabulous size and is so easy to color. I also have two new free on-line classes at CHF to announce…one by Dawn using this darling stamp and another by Kim Hughes!

Holly Day House

I stamped this design right on top of one of my new Thomas Kinkade Christmas papers. A light blue with a soft pattern…it is easy to add in some white highlights and it really doesn’t effect the coloring. While it doesn’t pick up too well in the photo…I love the added texture it gives in person. I’m totally in love with these new papers. You’re going to be seeing a LOT of them here! ;) Image is colored in with my Copic markers and highlights added with a white gel pen.

Quick Tip: Adhere some of the matting layers behind the transparency layer to make it stand out more.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!
